History:

ETC was first conceived as a tool to assist in the administration, scoring and collating of data from outcome scales and clinical tests. The author worked as a nurse consultant in a Mobile Intensive Treatment Team, which provided intensive case management to people with mental illness. Various outcome measures were required to be completed at regular intervals for each client. The completion of tests often took considerable time, involving completing a paper questionnaire, transposing scores onto score sheets, adding up sub-scale scores and total scores, writing up an interpretation and analysis, and entering the information into a spreadsheet to examine changes and trends. ETC was designed to automated this process, save time, and generate professional reports. Conservatively ETC has reduced the time taken on these tasks by 300% even for novice computer users.

The author has also worked in education, undertaken research using pen and paper instruments, and developed web based forms and questionnaires. ETC was developed to be flexible enough to assist in these tasks.
